I have been seeing my T for almost 11 months now and I still feel this wall between us.
For the longest time I kept thinking it was me and kept waiting to see if that would improve. I mean maybe it is me, I am just not sure.
Well, its really bothered me this last week thinking that its been so long and I still just don't have that connection with my T. She's really not that personable or empathetic, just very professional.
Seeing she is the first T I ever saw, I had no idea what to compare her to ect. I just went with the first one I had met.
I decided to try to find another T just for an initial consultation and to address my concern. I have not told my T that I have looked into that because I could very well end up staying with my present therapist.
I got a hold of a new T by email and she wants me to call her monday and set up a time to have an initial consult and see what happens from there.
I did tell her that I am seeing a T at this present time.
I like that her three main specialties are Sexual abuse, depression, and anxiety. I just sent her another email today to ask her a few questions before meeting with her, such as how long as she worked with sexually abused client's, what drew her to the field of psychology, and how flexible is her schedule because my school schedule changes each semester. I am waiting to hear back from her on those.
Has anyone else done this before without at least addressing it with thier therapist first? I feel like I am doing something horrible but I don't want to tell my T incase I do end up remaining with her. I would think that would injure where we are now in therapy.
